Strain TYLN1T grew optimally at pH 7.0 and 30 °C. Analysis of 16S rRNA gene sequence similarities revealed that the organism belongs to the genus Aeromicrobium. The G+C content of the strain was 73.3 mol%. The cell-wall diamino acid was ll-2,6-diaminopimelic acid, the predominant menaquinones were MK-9(H4) and MK-8(H4) and the predominant fatty acid was C18 : 1 ω9c (68.38 %). These chemotaxonomic data also support the affiliation of strain TYLN1T to the genus Aeromicrobium. The values for DNA–DNA hybridization between strain TYLN1T and the phylogenetically closest relatives Aeromicrobium tamlense DSM 19087T and Aeromicrobium panaciterrae DSM 17939T were respectively 35 and 11.5 %. On the basis of the data from this study, the isolate represents a novel species, for which the name Aeromicrobium flavum sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is TYLN1T (=CCTCC AB 206046T =DSM 19355T).", }
